To Isabel re: 5 month missed periods

[Guest guest]

Hi Isabel,

I hope that that the UAE hasn't pushed you into early menopause.

Thats what I was thinking after I missed 2 periods. I had 3 periods

then skipped 2. I know that my right ovarian artery was involved in

the ebolization so that is why I feared possible early menopause. I'm

47 and women in my family usually have menopause in the mid fifties.

Have your ob/gyn check your hormone levels to see what the menopause

status is and your ovarian function.

My best to you. This board is very busy and sometimes when I check I

may miss a post so if you need to write me.

Take care and the very best to you.

> Hi carmon,

> I also had the UAE 5 months ago. I also had horrendous hemorrhages

and was anemic for 15 years. It wears you out. Unfurtunately I haven't

had my period at all for this 5 months. I was on the pill to control

heavy bleeding until january.

> Did it take you 2 months to get your period?

> How old are you? I am 43 only but I fear that the UEA may have

precipitated early menopause. My mother had normal menopause at 44-45.

> I never thought I would say this but I am looking forward to getting

my period so it shows I am not menopausal. I am having hot flashes

also this late after the surgery. I had an MRI a couple days ago and

with the size of my fibroids- 19-20 weeks they shrunk 50%. I should

feel great but I don't. I hope I am wrong but I think It pushed me

into earlier menopause.

> Women who have a family history of earlier menopause need to be

careful because it can throw you into early menopause. Scary.!!!

> I FEEL HORRIBLE. THE REASON I DID THE SURGERY WAS SO THAT I WOULD

HAVE TO TAKE THE BIRTH CONTROL PILLS. WHICH I ABSOLUTELY COULDN'T

TOLERATE (SEVERE DEPRESSION,IRRITABILITY, MOODY...) TOOK ABOUT 20 OF

THEM DETESTED THEM. NOW I MAY HAVE TO TRY TO SEARCH FOR HORMONE

REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR THE BAD MENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS. TRULY NOT WHAT I

WANTED

> BUYER BEWARE THEY SAY THAT THE AVERAGE AGE OF THE WOMEN THAT GET

MENOPAUSE AFTER UFE IS 51 BUT IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY HISTORY OF EARLY

MENOPAUSE IT CAN BE MUCH EARLIER. I AM ONLY 43!!!! AND I FEEL HORRIBLE

AFTER 5 MONTHS OF THE SURGERY.

> NO BLEEDING AT ALL!!! EARLY MENOPAUSE???? HOT FLASHES, IMSOMNIA...

>dear Carmon,

Thanks a lot for your reply.I just made an apt. for a follow up to test my

hormone levels.

I was on birth control pills for ever to control bleeding. I had the Ortho-evra

patch until january after the surgery. I am sure that also is a factor.

I have tried to be patient but it is very discoriging.

It is like jumping from the skillet into the fire.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY RADIOLOGIST THAT THE LATEST ANYONE GOT A PERIOD AFTER THE

UAE WAS 6 MONTHS.

ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD A LONG TIME TO GET THEIR PERIODS POST UEA OR HAD EALY

MENOPAUSE AFTER SURGERY?
